Although the early cartography of Mars has been discussed in several popular and scholarly papers, comparatively little has been written
about the Martian globes that were commercially produced during this period. This web page attempts to present a survey of the various types of
Martian globes that were produced before the advent of the Space Age.

As with all Mars maps published before the 1960s, the Martian globes have south on the top and north at the bottom as this is the common way
in which the planet is viewed in astronomical telescopes from the northern hemisphere.

Known Types of Commercially-Produced Martian Globes

So far, I have found five different commercially-produced Martian globes mentioned in the literature:

1873  Hans Busk/Malby and Sons

A GLOBE | OF THE PLANET Mars | Scale 1 in to 450 Miles | Constructed by Captain Hans Busk, | of Trinity College
Cambridge | And presented by him to his College. | MARCH 1873.

The Martian Globes of Emmy Ingeborg Brun

Although only produced in a limited number, the hand-painted Martian globes of the Danish female amateur astronomer Emmy Ingeborg Brun
(1872-1929) deserve special mention for their beauty and detailed rendering of the supposed Martian canals.

Varying inscriptions:

Mars efter | Lowells Glober | ca. 1903-1909 | FREE LAND • FREE TRADE • FREE MEN | Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven

Mars efter | Lowells Glober | ca. 1905-1909 | FREE LAND • FREE TRADE • FREE MEN | Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
